Hey. You.
Ready for a game changer in the kitchen?
Most grocery store olive oil is boring, big-brand crap. It's like you've got tickets for a West End play, but the actors are dressed in street clothes and whispering their lines. The potential is there, but where's the color and nuance?
REAL, small-production, farmstead olive oil (extra virgin of course) brings a pop of aromatic life to even the simplest of dishes. Not to mention all those amazing health benefits!
Find out what real olive oil is all about.
We're racking up thousands of miles on our dirty old Peugeot Partner so you don't have to - meeting small producers in their orchards and mills, tasting hundreds of oils, and hauling only the best back with us.
Get on Board!
Imagine your olive oil crossing the Atlantic by sailboat - no belching, mega container ships - just smooth sailing and cool temps below deck.

What's the Big Deal? All Extra Virgin Oilve Oil is the same, right? Ummmm...NO!
Farmstead vs. Gas Factory
Farmstead vs. Gas Factory
Most of what's available in supermarkets or big box stores is flawed, mass-produced junk.

It's cool to support small farmers. We all know that by now, right?
Freshness Matters
Freshness Matters
Oil that is old, tired, heat-damaged, and oxidized is gross. You don't have to settle for that.

Can I pick up in person?
Can I pick up in person?
Nope. We store our oils at a temperature-controlled warehouse and ship them directly to your door.
Will you offer the same oils each year?
Will you offer the same oils each year?
Our goal is to build long-term relationships with a handful of small producers from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, and France. We'll taste oils after every harvest, and choose which oils to highlight each year. So while the exact oils might not be the same, you'll be able to choose oils from the producers you love best.
How should I store my oils?
How should I store my oils?
Your oils will stay freshest if they are kept away from sunlight, heat, and direct contact with air. A cool cupboard is preferable to keeping them on the counter near your stovetop, but for ease of use, we fill a small cruet with oil for cooking, then keep the rest in a cupboard nearby.
How long will my oil last?
How long will my oil last?
Although olive oil has a "Best when used by" date of two years from pressing, we recommend enjoying your oil within the first year of purchase. Once a container is opened (excluding bag-in-box, which preserves freshness by minimizing oxygen contact) your oil should stay fresh for up to one month.

What container should I choose?
What container should I choose?
- Bag-in-box is great for keeping olive oil fresh for several months, which is why we sell larger sizes in this format. If you use primarily olive oil for cooking, we suggest purchasing oils in bag-in-box.
- Smaller formats, such as tins and bottles are best if you plan to use the oil within 3-4 weeks of opening.
